Long Bio

Min-Hyun Kim, PhD, is an assistant professor of nutrition at Arizona State University. He investigates the molecular mechanisms of obesity and diabetes. Particularly, his laboratory studies how diet regulates gene expression, and the effect of these diet-gene interactions on metabolic hormones such as leptin and insulin. Before joining the faculty at ASU in 2022, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan Medical School, where he studied the epigenetic regulation of leptin signaling pathways. Kim earned his Ph.D. in nutritional sciences from the University of Florida.
